Have you ever considered a career in Executive Search or ‘Head-Hunting’? A large part of Harvey Nash Plc’s focus in on the recruitment of Technology, Digital and Transformation professionals and we have a thriving team focused on the appointment of senior candidates – ‘Chief’ and ‘Director’ level - within a variety of organisations, large and small, local and international, spanning all sectors.

The route to a long team career is through the role of Researcher, supporting our experienced Consultants to deliver these important assignments. If the thought of engaging with Board members, speaking with really interesting senior contacts and learning about talent mapping and search methodology appeals to you, then get in touch. No two days are ever the same, and the bonuses are good too.

Who you’ll be

We are looking for a proactive, confident, articulate individual who has an appetite to for success and is keen to learn more about senior level recruitment.

You will need excellent organisation and time management skills, and an outstanding work ethic. You’ll enjoy getting your head down to meet tight deadlines, but also be a strong team player.

Ideally, you’ll have some commercial experience, in a client/customer focused role where you’ve learned the importance of credibility when talking to senior stakeholders.

You’ll be keen to carve a career within our business long-term, which means having an appetite to learn, work hard and spot opportunities.

Must be of graduate calibre and an understanding of Executive Search/Headhunting would be highly beneficial, but not essential.

What you’ll be doing

Part of the Group: You’ll support Consultants delivering Senior Appointments across our regional business spanning Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle and Bristol. You’ll work alongside a small Research team in Birmingham and also the wider Research community based in our Executive Search Practice in London, so you will receive excellent support and training from various people.

Training: Working as part of the Research community, you will be learning alongside professionals with a wide range of skills and knowledge.

Assignments: You will provide support to Consultants, learning about high profile clients and liaising with candidates in order to headhunt people for key positions, promote opportunities to them, match them against criteria for roles, assess their motivations and guide them through the recruitment process. You’ll provide regular reports to clients which include Market Intelligence.

Market knowledge: You’ll develop a strong knowledge not only of functional skill-sets (e.g. CIO / IT Director) but also sectors and markets, to provide Market Intelligence to support assignments.

This is an excellent opportunity for a hard-working, credible, personable and target-driven individual to join a successful global firm.

We offer a competitive salary with excellent bonuses and a great benefits package including private healthcare, pension scheme, season ticket loan, cycle to work, life insurance, independent financial advice and more. We also offer incentives for high performers such as team meals, activity days and even incentive holidays.
